I think all vintage Telequipment scopes are worth the time repairing and keeping running.

I remember the very first time I saw one as a boy on the dashboard of one of the Thunderbirds with its characteristic black & red knobs, though I think the D61 has grey & red.

I have a big scope collection with scopes like 2465B's that outspec all the old Telequipment scopes, but I wouldn't part with my Telequipment D52 scope for love or money, there is something about it that makes it magical. The one I have has a dual phosphor blue-yellow CRT too with an orange filter. I also have a spare nos crt for it and a green version of the crt too.

So don't part out the D61, hand it to someone who will restore it to its former glory.
